Thread Name: BS: George Zimmerman to be Charged (Trayvon Martin
Subject: RE: BS: Zimmerman to be Charged
And there's the rub. It's a case that has to 'go right' and it's politically hot. It is clear that the trial will be about Zimmerman, but equally clear that the verdict will have to be fair in the minds of all communities. I think LA 1965 and LA 1992 come to peoples' minds, because viscerally we know there is an unfairness at work here in the structure and intent of some laws. This trial could end up being more about equality before the law than anything else. When please and thank you stop working, tough shit and fuck you are often perceived to be the only other path, imo.
